NASA needs astronauts

Meanwhile, NASA is putting the call out for a new class of astronauts for an out-of-this-world mission to the moon and maybe even Mars. Fox's Jonathan Serri has more from Atlanta. Fill out the application. NASA will look at every single application. Calling all space travelers. NASA is hanging up the help wanted sign. The agency is looking for a new class of astronauts and the job is open to all U.S. citizens with no age restrictions. But you have to have the right stuff, including advanced education, excellent health and a willingness to undergo rigorous training, including spending up to seven hours a day underwater in a pressurized spacesuit. Some of the new astronauts will spend extended stays on the moon base. NASA plans to build. The official job posting states, applicants, quote, must be willing to deploy to space for 12 months or longer, accepting extreme isolation, austere living conditions, and separation from loved ones. There's so much that the astronauts do, especially when we're starting these big, high-profile, back-to-the-moon type of endeavors. We need more people. The last time NASA issued a call for new astronauts, 8,000 applied. Only 10 were chosen. The process is so selective, Nicole Mann thought she didn't have a chance. She began training in 2013 and went on to command a mission to the International Space Station. Her advice to others? Do not count yourself out. If you are interested and you meet those minimum qualifications, then go to nasa.gov slash astronauts, look at those qualifications and apply. If you are passionate and you have these technical capabilities. We need you and we're interested. December 3rd is the application deadline. And by the way, typical salary for a NASA astronaut is just over $164,000 a year. In Atlanta, Jonathan Seri, Fox News.
